Four years ago, I got my first tattoo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This all started back in 2004 at the CBLDF (Comic Book Legal Defense Fund) where Peter ended up getting a tattoo of the Elfquest character Leetah on his arm after Richard and Wendy Pini donated a 1000 to the CBLDF. 

Since then we had, at first, joked about me getting a matching Cutter tattoo. In 2012, Wendy drew a Cutter on my arm, which was fun, but that one wasn\u2019t to be permanent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we go to SDCC, we have dinner with Mark Evanier and company if we can. It is always a good time with lots of fun stories and discussion. This time it was Peter, Caroline, Maggie Thompson, Mark and me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across the way Wendy and Richard were having dinner with their friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had talked to Wendy about actually pulling the trigger on the tattoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They came over and Wendy offered to draw Cutter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I accepted and Maggie pulled out a brand new Sharpie. Wendy proceeded to draw Cutter after comparing the size to what Peter had on his arm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This of course created a discreet crowd of on-lookers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day I went to a local tattoo parlor and got it inked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love my tattoo and am very proud of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
